[SOLVED] Can my PSU support RX 570?

[rijadkatardzic]

Hello. I currently have MS 500 v1 PSU. I recently had MS Platinum 400 v1, but thunder struck it, but Warranty somehow worked on it. With this PSU, I do not have 6+2PIN connector, and I'd like to buy RX 570.
Now, my question is.. SHOULD I Buy SATA to 6Pin, and CAN my PSU support RX 570 without any burnouts hapenning?
There's action going on with Corsair's CX500, It's only 25€ on sale! Should I buy that then?

Thanks.

No , you can't run a 570 with that PSU. It's a piece of junk. And the CX500 is an old low quality discontinued model.

No, your PSU is terrible. Do not use it with a 570.
The CX500 models are like 5 years old and very poor quality.

Look for the more modern CX550 or CX450.

Do you think CX450 will be able to pull off this?
My Computer Specifications are

1. ASUS A320M-K
2. Ryzen 3 2200G
3. RX 570 (soon)
   4)8GB DDR 2666MHZ (Add 1 more stick, so 16GB, I'll buy it with RX 570 and OC them both to 2933MHZ).

Thank You.

Yep, a CX450 is good for that. You could even throw in a better GPU like a 1660ti down the road.

Alright. Thank You.. Oh, and Sorry for bothering You, but could You also tell me why the CX500 isn't a great option?
I know it's old, but can it do it's job for me in this scenario?

CX500 is not only old, but it was not good when it launched. CX500 models have a reputation for failure and damaging components.

Heck, i bet @jonnyguru would agree even though he works in Corsairs PSU devision.

 

[rijadkatardzic]

Alright, I'll try to go for CX450 then. Thank You for your answers, and patience.

Go for a CX550 , always good to have a little extra power and connections for future upgrades.
